AC is better imo because you can get a more consistant spine.They will also hold that spine longer and most have a better nock system.

I agree with TFOX. Before anyone chimes in about durability, I've been shooting and hunting with A/C Superslims for two years now and I must say they are the toughest arrow I've ever shot.

My only issue with them is the nock system isn't as good as some of the other ac arrows(no bushings).

But other than that,great arrows.

Probably the setting of it but the arrows are close to the same diameter.Only about .05 difference.

If you use a prong rest,it may need to be readjusted.If you use a trophy taker style fallaway,then all that will be needed then is to retune ,that would probally require a little adjustment to the rest.

Well I'll tell ya. I shot ACC's for 2 years, and they are incredible. You won't ever hear me say a negative word about them. Yes, the nock system is really good, spine/weight consistency and tolerances are beautiful.

Having said that, I changed to Carbon Express Maxima Hunters, and noticed an immediate improvement. These things shoot like nothing I've ever seen before. I've literally watched people at the shop change absolutely nothing w/ the bow, change to these arrows, and watch their groups shrink. I can't explain why exactly, I just know they are awesome. I've robinhooded more than I care to mention.
